Please see comment above.



Yes and thank you. You have seen all the jigs, prototypes, and work. Even with me posting a photo some people that already own other companies parts still want to ask.

Thank you again for letting us use your car. To be honest I have not had the chance to sit in a FR-S till now. When I moved your car around front last night. I had to take a second and look. These are very well made and very nice inside I was really taken back. There is even a certain weight to the door when closing it. Its not that cheap feel. Nice and solid!

So what do you think? I was behind you when you got on the freeway last night. Sounded great!
You could have saved some headaches by stating that the BRZ/FR-S components are the only AP exhaust products currently made in the USA, since the link on AP's site says all are made in China. I mentioned in the first locked thread that I was aware that the exhausts were made in China but that I was also unaware if things had changed. Could have been made clear there: "Most still are, but these are in house at the moment."

On that note are they made from scratch there, or are they made from modified versions of AP-GDA-176 which are Chinese-sourced?
